Paddy and the Whale - Burl Ives (伯尔·艾夫斯)
Paddy O' Ran left Ireland in glee;
He had a strong notion of England to see;
He shipped in a nenny for England was bound
And the whiskey he drank made his head go around
Fa di well fa di rol fa di rol doe dai di
Paddy had never been sailing before;
It made his heart hit when he heard the loud roar;
From the glance of his eye a whale he did spy:
"I'm going to be ate" says Pat" bye-bye"
Fa di well fa di rol fa di rol doe dai di
Paddy run forward caught hold of the mast
He grasped his arms round and there held fast
The boat give a tip and losing his grip
Down in the whale's belly poor Paddy did slip
Fa di well fa di rol fa di rol doe dai di
He was down in the whale six months or more
Till one fine day the whale he get aboard
The whale give a snort and then give a blow
And out on the land old Paddy did go
Fa di well fa di rol fa di rol doe dai di
O Paddy he landed and safe on the shore;
He swears that he'll never go to sail anymore
The next time he wishes old England to see
It will be when the railroad run over the sea
Fa di well fa di rol fa di rol doe dai di
Fa di well fa di rol fa di rol doe dai di
